Lori has a
natural born instinct for design. Having attended the Art Institute
of Philadelphia, you could say that Lori’s jobs are works of art,
not just design. “Set design and themed rooms have always been one
of my favorite ways to set my jobs apart from others,” Lori
explains. “Each room I do, I try to incorporate as many unique and
beautiful pieces as possible. It makes us different from other
interior designers.” Often, after she completes her customer’s first
home, clients ask her to design their second homes as well. “Almost
all of my work is through word of mouth,” she says. “A lot of my
jobs come from friends and family of those clients I decorated for
as well as the realtors and developers that see my work.” Lori has
done homes from Nantucket to Florida, as well as restaurants, casino
hotels, and commercial properties. Whether it’s a primary residence
or second home, Lori specializes in catering each home to
incorporate the personality and needs of the customer. “I think
that’s key,” she says. “As a designer we need to work around the
customer’s vision while incorporating our knowledge and experience
of styles and color into that vision.” While Lori’s primary goal is
to create a space her client wants, she is also not shy about
challenging them to step a bit outside their comfort zone in order
to create a space that exceeds their expectations.
